These consumers have grown older but have not stopped consuming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Based on extensive analysis over two years, this unique book examines the engagement of older people with consumer society in Britain since the 1960s. It charts the changes in the experience of later life in the UK over the last 50 years, the rise of the 'individualised consumer citizen' and what this means for health and social policies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book will appeal to students, lecturers, researchers and policy analysts.
